#39 What Motivates Me?
In this Question and Quote episode, Arnold Beekes asks: what motivates me? He is looking for your intrinsic, inner motivation rather than the external kind. Most people use the word as if someone else has to do it, like a boss motivating an employee. Arnold thinks that is impossible and that it reinforces not living your own life. To live your own life you need to know what motivates you. Is it money, fame or status, which many people think bring lasting happiness but don’t, or is it helping others, doing something good for the world or building something beautiful? He notes that beauty is disappearing from our cities and communities, so build something that is beautiful. Don’t look at other people or depend on what they want, look inside, between the ears. The quote is “If you don’t add any newness into your life old habits will determine your outcomes and these habits will govern your future.” It echoes the saying that if you do what you did, you get what you got. If you want to change your outer world, your life, work or relationships, you have to change something inside yourself, because hoping for something else without changing anything won’t change the results. His closing question: what old habits would you like to shed and replace with new ones?

Welcome, I'm Arnold Beekhuis and this is the question and quote version of the Between the Ears podcast. The goal is to enable you to unleash and use your uniqueness. Question, what motivates me? What motivates me? So I'm looking for your intrinsic meaning your inner motivation rather than the external extrinsic motivation.
Most people use the word motivation as in that other people need to like a boss needs to motivate his or her employee. Well number one I think that's impossible and number two that strengthens that you're not living your own life. If you hopefully want to live your own life then you need to understand and know what motivates you.
Is it money? Is it fame? Is it status? That's what a lot of people think brings kind of eternal happiness to their life which is not the case or is it more the motivation of helping other people, doing something good for the world or building something beautiful. I think there is except for nature and a few buildings beauty is disappearing from our cities, from our communities. So build something that is beautiful.
So what is your motivation? And again don't look at other people, don't be dependent on other people, don't think what they want. No just look inside of you between the ears. What motivates me? Quote, if you don't add any newness into your life old habits will determine your outcomes and these habits will govern your future.
If you don't add any newness into your life old habits will determine your outcomes and these habits will govern your future. It kind of proves a saying which is if you do what you did you get what you got. I don't want to throw just quote after quote at you but it's really key to understand that if you want to change your outer world, your reality, your life, your work, your relationships, you gotta change something inside of yourself.
If you don't do that if you just want something else or hope for something else but you're not changing anything well the results won't change either. So what are some old habits that you would like to shed and replace with new habits? And remember we need your uniqueness. Be a better maker for yourself, for others, for the world.
